Re: wxmaxima-26.06.2: cmake reports an error

Hi,

on an up-to-date Debian/Sid environment, version 26.06.2 of wxmaxima builds well.

On which environment are you building ?

Do you have any gzip installed ?

Otherwise, the newly ``compress man pages'' code is not ``traditional'': you may want to comment/discard it.
For the (official) Debian package, I discarded this part of the code since it mess up with the Debian packaging machinery
which expects ``traditional'' installation.

I have submitted an issue about this:
